5 Questions Developers Ask About Pneumatics
More and more developers, EPCs and investors are evaluating tracker systems that use the power of air, also known as pneumatic power, instead of electric power because of the many advantages that pneumatics has to offer.
New Gear Manufacturing Technologies - the Role of Precision Metrology
Two factors of the vehicle's operation are related to these new gear packs for electric cars-efficiency, or 'rangeability,' and gear noise. To appeal to consumers, electric vehicles will need to reach similar mileage as their internal combustion counterparts.
Partnerships Amplify Velocity of Offshore Wind Innovation
The U.S. Department of Energy and the White House have made offshore wind a centerpiece of plans to strengthen the nation's energy infrastructure, announcing a goal to deploy 30 gigawatts of offshore wind by 2030-a huge leap from the 42 megawatts currently in operation.
Ai-driven Home Solar and Usage Monitoring
On the sales side, showing customers how a home consumes electricity and how their bill is derived - and then how the proposed solar array would help solve their electric bill concerns - makes solar tangible.
NEC 2023 Changes to Sections 690, 691, 692, 694, 705, 710 and 790
This article summarizes some of the current and new requirements regarding proper labeling for standard solar and wind installations.
Solar Plant Production Verification and Error Detection
Using Solar-Log® monitoring, the SunPeak Operations & Maintenance team can track solar plant energy production metrics as well as data from the installed Lufft pyranometer to ensure that the system is running free and clear of errors.
Alternate Energy Aficionados Dream Come True : Solar Cars: Is It Really a Possibility?
After vigorous calculations, researchers have concluded that to drive 50 miles per day, a car needs 3.44 kW, and most of the current solar panels can produce 345 W/ft² under full sun, and that will need approximately 250 ft² of solar panels in a car.
Resistance Beyond the Four Walls - Industrial Resistors Aren't Just for the Factory Floor
Resistors are commonplace power components in industrial buildings - but their use is not limited to the factory floor. In many industries, resistors play a vital role in the power management of electrical equipment.
Battery Safety Concerns Can Be Addressed With Proper Design and Manufacturing
More and more homeowners are requesting battery backup solutions as part of their solar power installations. With increased adoption of solar power, concerns about fire hazards are likely to grow. Are these concerns justified?
Going Green With Obsolete Equipment - Tackling the Hidden Carbon of Manufacturing
Look around you. Chances are you're surrounded by manufactured products - from the chair you're sitting on, to the device you're reading this on. Each step along the manufacturing process of those products has some impact on the environment.
How Farmers Harvest Their Own Power with Solar Energy
If you think about it, an industry that is wholly dependent on nature and the environment should look to the sun for free power.
Using Carbon Additives to Improve Performance of AGM Batteries
Batteries that operate in partial state of charge (PSOC) environments can suffer from reduced charge acceptance that can lead to progressive capacity loss.
Solar Spotlight: Ageto Energy Powering Community Projects
Of the many suppliers and customers SMA works with, one outstanding partner is Ageto Energy of Fort Collins, Colorado. Ageto produces microgrid control systems, and has selected SMA's CORE1 Inverter in their projects around the world since 2017.
Comparing the Top Home Battery Storage Technologies
Battery storage is the fastest growing market segment in solar, creating new markets as well as solar retrofit expansion opportunities across the USA for renewable projects large and small.
Advances in Solar Panel Technology in Recent Years and Its Use in Solar Car Development
Currently, a high-efficiency car company, Aperta Motors, is conducting test drives and safety tests on a new design of cars. These Aperta are three-wheelers, covered by 34 square feet of solar panels, which provide enough energy to drive up to 40 miles on a sunny day.
